We are seeking an enthusiastic and experienced individual to join the ChocoSol
team as an Administration and Hospitality Animator. This is a full-time 6 month
contract position, with the intention to promote to salary with benefits upon
successful completion of the contract. We are looking for someone with at least
a two year commitment to the business. ChocoSol is an organization passionate
about developing long-term relationships with our own staff, local community
partners, and our international horizontal trading network.

ChocoSol is a Learning Community Social Enterprise that makes the ‘food of the
gods’ – commonly known as cacao – into fresh, whole food, stone ground
chocolate. ChocoSol’s cacao is sourced directly from farmers in Mexico, Dominican
Republic, and Ecuador, and then processed bean-to-bar at our St Clair Avenue
West facility. We run many in-house events, workshops, and tours, as well as
participating in a few dozen external community events every year.

We are looking for someone organized, dependable, and creative to support us in
the strengthening and streamlining of our office rituals. This position acts as
a communication hub for the office within the organization. We want a qualified
candidate interested in joining our community as well as the business.

Daily duties will include, but not be limited to: managing the general email
account, event planning and scheduling, supporting the development and
maintenance of accurate payroll and employee files, managing office supplies,
assisting in applying for grants and certifications, and managing Accounts
Payable. Must be able to work independently, and have an inherent desire to
constantly improve systems. Must be able to work effectively in a busy shared
office and prioritize many tasks and deadlines.

Because this position handles Accounts Payable (with the support of a monthly
consultant accountant), a comfort with numbers and spreadsheets is necessary.
Ideally the candidate will have previous budgeting and accounting experience
with Quickbooks Enterprise.

For the right candidate this is an opportunity to be brought into the Executive
Team of a growing, dynamic, sustainability focused enterprise.

Qualifications:
• 2 years experience with office administration
• Proficiency in Word, Google sheets, data entry
• Effective organization skills
• Strong communication skills
• Bookkeeping
• Enthusiasm for our social enterprise
• Fluency in Spanish an asset
• Food handling certification an asset
• Cycling skills an asset
• We run many events on the evening and weekend, so some flexibility in
schedule would be an asset.

6 month contract will be:

Full-time: 5 days per week (37.5 hour work week) for $15/hour

Start date: Available for some training dates as of September 1, 2017 and
transitioning to full time over the course of the month.

End date: April 1,
2018 with intention to permanently hire upon successful
completion of contract and performance review. Salary amounts are reviewed
annually.
